“…Scientific research shows that men are more likely to drink and drink more than women [20,61,63,[71][72][73]; this prediction reaches up to 2.55 times higher [6]. In other studies, this difference is decreasing [7,74] and the present study does not find differences in risky drinking between male and female students [65].…”

“…Another factor that seems to contribute to the increase in risky drinking in higher education students is the place of residence. This study revealed that students who lived at home with their parents consumed less alcohol than expected [42,65,72,73,81]. Parental supervision in this case seems to play an essential role in the prevention and monitoring of risky behaviours related to alcohol consumption, with a lower rate of excessive alcohol consumption and drunkenness episodes in students who did not change their residence at the time of entry into higher education.…”

“…The current research highlights the high prevalence of risky drinking among university students. The risky drinking is a phenomenon that assumes considerable expression among university students, as demonstrated in national [61][62][63] and international studies [6,64,65]. According to the review conducted by Davoren et al [7], in the studies that used the AUDIT, the proportion of students who reported risky drinking behaviours ranged from 62.8% in 2003 to 84% in 2014.…”

“…The primary contribution of the present studies is the consideration of motivations for responsible drinking in college drinking interventions to promote PBS use. Thus, given the existence of health disparities regarding alcohol-related outcomes among Hispanic college students (e.g., Shields et al, 2016), we conducted exploratory analyses testing differences between Hispanic and non-Hispanic participants relating to motivations for responsible drinking. There were no differences between groups on autonomous motivation, but Hispanic participants were higher on introjected regulation and lower on external regulation and amotivation than non-Hispanic participants.…”

Drinking motives, or reasons people choose to drink, are well-established risk factors for alcohol use and related negative consequences. Recent research has shown utility in a self-determination theory (SDT) approach for describing motivation for engaging in behaviors that reduce the harms associated with alcohol use (i.e., drinking responsibly). In the present study, we examined the relationship between drinking motives and motivations for drinking responsibly as well as their unique and incremental associations with alcohol-related outcomes (protective behavioral strategies [PBS], consumption, and negative consequences) in two samples of college student drinkers: (a) a random sample (n = 507) recruited from a Hispanic-Serving Institution on the U.S. border with Mexico (M age = 22.84, SD = 5.84; 67.3% female; 90.9% Hispanic) and (b) a convenience sample (n = 2,808) from Psychology Department research participation pools at 10 universities in 8 U.S. states (M age = 20.59, SD = 4.18; 72.9% female; 58.2% non-Hispanic White). Autonomous motivations (experience of volition and choice) for drinking responsibly were negatively correlated with drinking motives, but these correlations were small-to-medium in magnitude suggesting nonredundancy between the constructs. Drinking motives were risk factors for alcohol-related outcomes, especially alcohol-related problems, and autonomous motivations for drinking responsibly were protective factors for alcohol-related outcomes, especially PBS. Both motivational constructs predicted alcohol-related outcomes beyond the other, but drinking motives generally accounted for more variance. These findings suggest that integrating motivation in relation to both drinking and drinking responsibly may lead to a better understanding of alcohol-related behaviors and the associated negative consequences among college students. Implications for college drinking interventions are discussed.

“…One reason for the lack of effectiveness may have been that health campaigns typically target the general population and that specific tailoring for sexual minorities is mostly done in health campaigns on issues such as safe sex. It is vital that health campaigns on binge drinking explicitly target high-risk groups (Shields et al, 2016 ) and in particular vulnerable LGBTQ + groups (Drabble & Eliason, 2021 ).…”

Humour Against Binge Drinking During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cartoon-Based Anti-Alcohol Health Campaign Targeting Women-Who-Have-Sex-With-Women

This study focuses on the role of humour in health and well-being of women-who-have-sex-with-women (WSW) during COVID-19. This group has been shown to be vulnerable to alcohol abuse, especially as self-medication coping with social consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. We investigated the potential usefulness of WSW-inclusive (i.e., depicting a female-female romantic couple) versus hetero-normative (i.e., depicting a male-female romantic couple) humorous cartoons in an anti-alcohol health campaign against excessive drinking among WSW. One-hundred-and-twenty-seven self-categorized WSW of diverse genders (woman, non-binary) and sexual orientations (e.g., lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, queer, heterosexual) participated in a 2 × 2 factorial between-participants design. Data were collected during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic in The Netherlands. Humorous cartoons explicitly referring to lockdown measures systematically varied the humour subject (punchline about excessive drinking versus staying sober) and the couple (male-female, female-female) that were depicted. Although the (very brief) health message did not influence binge drinking determinants, the humorous health campaign depicting a female-female couple was perceived as more inclusive and evoked more amusement and less anger than when the cartoons depicted a male-female couple. High WSW identifiers were less amused about the health campaign text (but not the cartoons), less likely to share campaign materials offline (but not online), and had more positive binge drinking attitudes but lower binge drinking intentions than low identifiers. Implications are discussed.
